Delivering a valuable service…

A Swiss watchmaker successfully markets a selective line of automatic watches designed in an “ethnic urban” style. The company enjoys substantial success in traditional watch retail outlets, where the brand name is less of a factor, thanks to distinctive design.

In five years, the company has managed to generate operating cash flow sufficient to finance the acquisition of a Danish company that specialises in the manufacture of custom made high-end clocks. However, the due diligence showed that the Danish manufacturer had eight unfinished clocks held in stock because the buyer had become insolvent between the time of the order and the delivery from the workshop. This potential issue makes the buyer more cautious.

After discussing it with the Coface teams, the buyer is reassured as the teams propose to:- establish a new “Globalliance” policy on behalf of the future Danish subsidiary, along the same lines as the policy negotiated inSwitzerland,

-add a “manufacturing risk” component, which will cover the Danish workshop against insolvencies which may arise prior to the delivery of the clocks.
